He is elected to represent his fellow miners at a union convention and there, under the influence of the eloquent older miner, John Siney, he becomes convinced of the need for a national miners' union.There are a series of strikes in the novel, the miners' desperate and pathetic attempts to better their conditions, and, more basically, their groping efforts to attain a life of dignity" (BLAKE, pp.145-146).
